Mack the Knife

Mack The Knife (飛刀老麥) - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特郎)

Written by：M. Blitzstein/Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill/Marc Blitzstein

Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has MacHeath dear

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath dear

So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning

Lies a body oozing life

Someone sneaking around the corner

Is the someone mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag's drooping down

And the cement's just for the weight dear

Bet you mack he's back in town

Looky here Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawing out of his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

Did our boy do something rash

Sukey tawdry Jenny Diver

Lotte Lenya sweet Lucy Brown

Yeah the line forms on the right dears

Now that mack he's back in town
